I have a friend from Mexico City that is MIA's personal photographer. He wasn't a fan, but she discovered his work on tumblr0. My wife is his is best friend, and told him to take the job, A decade later, he's still doing on tour.

At the record store I worked at, the euphemism for bootleg was "import." When people would ask, I'd say, "It says it's an import. I don't really understand foreign copyright laws." Technically, neither of those things was a lie!

it's a long time ago but if memory serves me the acting was pretty unconvincing. really good in other ways though and yes good soundtrack. (i actually heard some of the soundtrack on wfmu in the early 80s which prompted me to rent the movie)

@Wolfg-Maybe I'll see if its on Amazon Prime sometime, or maybe the library has it. For me it was just a puzzling experience. I don't think I have ever been punk. I spent time with punks on the lower east side and we did not get along great. I met some punks in Syracuse, NY and they seemed to like me ok. I'm a hardcore right winger, and even when I was a college student and voted lefty I think deep down I was always a traditionalist. I dropped out of art school and saw a a lot of BS so I am deeply committed to my sense of taste. Just my $.02.

WA state mails ballots to voters and also a really informative and well put together voting guide. There are ballot drop boxes at all public libraries. Seems like a very sensible method to encourage voting participation.

Remember, if you need a stamp some drug stores like Walgreens or Rite Aid sell stamps, too, not just the post office.
@The Oscar-I might try, but really I am the kind of guy who also finds El Topo just confusing and not nice.

Trouble, I know it’s past deadline, but can you ask if I can still send a print in for the auction, today?!
I emailed the art@wfmu to see if it would be accepted

Henry Ford was the first guy to pay $5 a day to factory workers-we need more like him. Inventors that actually care about workers that is.

voting is very important but it's not gonna get us out of this mess. its gonna take a mass movement to reform or recreate our government and an electoral strategy is only half of that the other half is a massive and highly organized and strategic and prolonged mass uprising. Ralph Nader has a new book called How the Rats Reformed Congress... sounds like he's on the right track. MLK was incredibly brave and inspiring but he was also a brilliant strategist. "Power concedes nothing without demands, it never has and it never will." but yea... vote please obviously
